Question

My stored procedure looks like this:

create Procedure procLoc
AS
BEGIN
      select 
          pr.name, loc.address
      from 
          Profile pr 
      join 
          Location loc on pr.id = loc.id
END

For the add function Import dialog box that comes up, there are the following options

• None
• Scalars
• Complex
• Entities

Which option would I select in this scenario?

Answer 1

Since your stored procedure is returning multiple values: pr.name,loc.address, you’ll only have 2 choices- Complex or Entities. If you already have an entity mapped with Name/Address properties you can choose it, otherwise choose complex. I usually click the Get Column Information button and then Create New Complex type and let it generate one for me.
